Screening for the Efficacy of Botanicals and Soaps in Controlling the Banana Aphid Pentalonia nigronervosa (Hemiptera: Aphididae) Under Laboratory and Screenhouse Conditions
Geofrey Ogwal, Peter Wasswa, Walter Ocimati, Bonaventure Aman Omondi, Anthony Fredrick Tazuba, Michael Hilary Otim, Guy Blomme Controlling banana aphid (Pentalonia nigronervosa) vectors of banana bunchy-top disease is crucial for integrated disease management. Synthetic insecticides, though effective in aphid control, pose health and environmental risks. Bioration…
Smallholder Farmers’ Management Practices and Perceived Constraints to Robusta Coffee Production in Mid-Altitude Zones of Central Uganda
Winfred Nabiteeko Nakyagaba; Herbert Talwana; Samuel Kyamanywa; Godfrey H. Kagezi; David Mfitumukiza; Revocatus Twinomuhangi; David Mukasa; Catherine Mulinde;Bernard Fungo Despite its importance, Robusta coffee production in the mid-altitude zone of central Uganda is threatened by climate variability, especially erratic rainfall, which reduces coffee yield and increases the yield gap. Upscaling climate-smart…
Step by step to higher yields? Adoption and impacts of a sequenced training approach for climate-smart coffee production in Uganda
Manuela Kristin Günther, Christine Bosch, Hanna Ewell, Raphael Nawrotzki, Edward Kato Climate change further exacerbates sustainability challenges in coffee cultivation. Addressing these requires effective delivery mechanisms for sustainable farming practices, particularly in smallholder contexts. We assess a novel public-p…
Genotype by environment interaction, path analysis, and yield stability of climate-resilient DroughtTEGO maize hybrids
Muhyideen Oyekunle’, Julius Pyton Sserumaga, Rabiu Salisu Adamu, Eric Ndou, Yoseph Beyene, Sylvester Ojo Oikeh The assessment of yield stability of climate-resilient DroughtTEGO® maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids is vital for the productivity and sustainability of maize production in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study evaluated the performance and environmen…

Banana fibre yield and recovery in diversified farming systems of Uganda: Protocol, allometry and determinants
Daphine Kamusingize, Godfrey Taulya, Esther Ronner, Hugo Dorado Betancourt, Priver Namanya, Jerome Kubiriba, Katrien Descheemaeker The use of fibre from banana pseudo-stems is gaining traction globally. However, reliable tools for determination of banana fibre stocks and their determinants are lacking. We developed widely applicable allometric models for rapid evaluat…
Social -Technological Factors Influencing Smallholder Farmer's Adaptation of AgroForestry Technologies in the Eastern Highlands of Uganda
Fred Kalanzi Agroforestry has been identified as the most sustainable remedy to counter declining farm
productivity, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. Based on this, state and non-state actors have
promoted several agroforestry technologies in Ugan…
